Because the proposed route has some stops in <br />common with the current Orange Express service, the new route will capture some <br />passengers currently using the Orange Express route; so, only 13 of the projected 25 <br />daily passengers will be "new" passengers. <br />The transportation center will also provide a convenient stop /transfer point for current <br />OPT service between Hillsborough and Chapel Hill. The park and ride lot will also <br />provide overflow parking for students attending evening classes at the Durham Tech <br />satellite campus, the majority of Durham Tech students are evening students. <br />This project is supported by the Town of Hillsborough, which has expressed willingness <br />to participate in the match requirement and developing a marketing campaign for the <br />new transit service in the attached Resolution in Support of Orange County's Grant <br />Application for Congestion Management/Air Quality Grant for an In -Town Transit Route. <br />Page 4 of 4 <br />
